Dear Sirs:—Would you please set nett/ my subscription to your•' paper for another ear -for vhieh !:enclose a Postal Note for: $1,50.' I 'also en close a -few notes on "Ice -Cutting in !Montreal" which. might interest :tome of-your:;teaders. At. preaent, we are in ` the midst, of . ear :annual . ieitharvest. Our ice- nlerchapts;.:•during the last. week of Jantlal'y and the first thr:ea aweeks of di obruar'y, pack away in their store-: houses :sone*;400,000 .tons of ice each 1 .year.:,•f his .amount! shrinks; due to likIndling, :dividing up .' into 10-1b. blocks land . exposure to sunrner sun •during delivery, to about 280,004 tons for actual use; To this must bead, ded 60,000 tons . of artificial ide .,and also the ice produced, in: 25,000 mesh- - animal refrigerators which have been built into otic modern dwellings. By far the greater portion of this amount is garnered from' the still waters in' that part of the `River St. Lawrence, which is about a mile- wide near Montreal, lying between .the channel ;'and the south shore.` Tiais., `water comes principally. from. Lake Qntario and it not polliited like por- •bone of the river between the chafe`' net and' the north shore is apt to, be.. The water is tested, by the- city in' - . n=. specters before permits for ice -crit-• • ting are granted and these tests are ie -checked :after the' isa has been re moved, This year: our best quality of ice is from 26 to 30 inches thick. The, ice fieldsare marked off after the snow hae been removed and' are: then sawn into blocks, each -weighing froin 700 .'to 1000 lbs They are then loaded . into waitings_fi-ton• trueits' and, coitvey• •ed to the storehouses: • When''bloeks of 'these • dimensions can' he loaded" and conveyed inthese heavy trucks,- iti-1 stead of being •hauled by teams eS horses, they are handled`inore expedi ! tiously and profitably than by any formermethods. For the most part, the old methods of ice -cutting ,by, the, • hand -saw or pfough-sa,V,, 'drawn bY a hOrse, have i c r e o er ` .been c lista d d The m n method d r ice -c t i " mas is by..using- a. Powe U, zng,, z� cl ,iven by a motor; mounted on cater- pillar wheels: This is manned by two men and the- machine can cut front- 7,000 rom 7,000 to 10,000 blocke, each weighing up` to 1000 lbs. per day. This repre- sents a daily cut from one machine of front 3,500 to $;000 tons: This ma- chine replaces 15 men with 15 teams. rormeziy there wore about -600 men engaged in the ice -harvesting blit by using modern 'methods' only 300 men are employed. The'result ' Is that half of'the former 'number of melt can garner the 'complete ice -harvest hi one-third of the fernier aline. 'Not- withstanding the large amount of money saved by the use of this labor- saving machinery and the satisfad tory work of these 5•toti trucks, it is amusing to note the timber and va- riety of .the excuses; • made by , the. ice -merchants for 'boosting .the. Sinn mer' prices. The,necedsity for speed in these harvesting -operations lies lathe vag- aides of nature.., Thaws, heavy rains and storms may come at any' time and render impossible the continuance of -the ivorlt• Also if the harvesting Were unduly, extended, ' into March, • as in former years, when the handsaw and the ploughsaw had tor be the sole -dependents for the sawing' `' of ; the blocks, our present,ice-ur'eakers would soon destroy the lines of:ebntmunica- tion between the harvest fields land the store -houses. - These .ice-br•e ekers,• travelling •in,•: pairs ostially leave Quebec for Montreal on It vch 1st' but this year `they leave on Feb; 23rd as per schedule. The distance to Montreal is 139 knots -approximately 162 land miles and this is accomplish- ed in three'or three and a half weeks. The storms which usually occur chtr- ing March and 'the inevitable and un-: avoidable breaks .to the -propeller blades striking the heavy blocks pt ice, "render the work arduous.' ' The captains of , these ice:brealters are warmlyt complimented and 'congr�atu-. lated if they ,can anchor at the, ,wtiatrves of The .Imperiol Old Co, at tare suburbs of Montreal by St. Pat- r'ick's Day.
